Romain Grosjean hoping for Lotus Spa boost

Romain Grosjean claims that the track layout at the Belgian Grand Prix could suit Lotus.

Romain Grosjean has suggested that the track characteristics at Spa Francorchamps could help Lotus score points at next weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

The Frenchman has a poor record at the circuit, having failed to finish three of his four Grands Prix at the famous Ardennes track, but Grosjean is optimistic about the team's chances of delivering a good performance.

He told reporters: "I think the circuit could well play to some of the strengths we have in the car and I'm certainly ready for more points. Me and the team will be doing everything we can to go well and get the strongest result possible, after all that's what we're here to do!

"It's a great track as there's so much to think about over a lap. That's true if you're on a qualifying lap trying to maximise your speed at every point, or in a race where you're either defending or attacking, and maybe both over the course of a lap.

"It's the type of place where the differences between cars can be highlighted and sometimes you see a car go really well here – let's hope that's our car this season!"

Lotus are currently sixth in the constructors' standings.
